Huuee the wind god will seek to ensure it isn't  but fingers crossed 'cos I am not working

 Stop talking about it.....

Shhhhhhhh!

 hahaha come on people! The fishing gods are going to be good to us this week ;)

looking awesome, cant wait to get out there and have a crack, sorry mate il be taking out the retirement home this week (old man and inlaw) so not much room on mine - but good luck hopfully there is a few going out - il prob be behind Rotto, if anyone is around come say good day.

my boats chockas too its amazing when the weather doesnt look too good you hear from nobody then as soon as a good day apears your phone rings hot!

 I hope the good weather pushes to sunday so maybe I can get it off haha!

your not wrong snappermiles, just put the boat away sunday night and got a ph call at 8am monday morning from the inlaw.

My usual deckie the jig king is dark, the only friday he has to work.

 Giving me a hard on! Seriously thinking of closing up shop for the day.

the ban is approaching, gotta get in when you can!

 anything has to be better than yesterday, 8 knots all day my ass! 

Can't catch & effin' break down here! Winds are predicted to be shit the whole way through, calm cold & glassy winter days are few & far between this year

 Yep already started shuffling fridays jobs. Looking magic!

 Hey what's the go with Two rocks ramp guys? You gotta pay? Cause I'm doin it!

good ramp Sea-kem - no issues, my deckie usually covers that side, but i think its about 4 buks or something.

There are envelopes near the ramp sign, just put your rego on the front and money inside and your covered.

Jealous - im liking two rocks lately, ground is good out there

no problems - sounds like the mrs is in trouble tonight hahah

Be keen to hear of a report on two-rocks Sea-kem... What the ramp is like etc... Ground out there seems to produce the goods, keen to see what it's like

SHHHH...

Working Fri, but Sat doesnt look bad either. After fully moving back down from Kcity about time the boat hits the briney.

was out on the ski yesterday, 8 knots wasn't even close, found some big boys but the plastic and jigs were working, so I caught a feed of herring and whitting. My restriction to 5 nm could of been a factor. Can't understand how a kayak is allowed further out than a Jetski.

OHH yeah .. got a half a chubby .. economy is gonna take a knock " Gone Fishing " sign on my workshop door as well .. 

ill hopefully loose sight of land out from Hillarys and maybe north a bit!
first fish in ages, hope the forecast stays true unlike my last time out - lasted about 10 mins.

 Looking at Friday from Kalgoorlie now, hopefully pick the boat up from Wangarra on thursday and head out friday

  leave from Mindarie and head north towards tworocks and maybe over the top of direction bank

  Thats if my deckie can get the day off? might need a new one, will not know till 3 or 4 pm

of rotto for a berly session,fancy a pink or 2

 Absolutely!!!!! Have PM'd you

 Damnit! looks like I was too late again :(

 Boats getting a good rest, its been weeks. could be weels before i get out again. good luck.

Fridays weather prediction has given me half a mongrel wish wifey could do the same

the pearl will be up venturing off two rocks for the next two days....not looking forward to the ramp come Saturday morning.

a fair drift running tomorrow and possibly still lumpy. rotto is at 20 knots this morning so lets hope it starts dropping soon.

i was just thinking that myself tot - need it to start dropping from Mid day.

 The cattle are getting restless lol. The forecast hasn't changed much all week so should be good.

 Ill be on he water before dawn for sure, on the mark before the sun comes, peak feed at 7am i believe..

yep restless for sure, dont sleep much the night before when i know its going to be a good day. hopefully we can get out there just on light in the morning.

hopefully the old fellah behind me can keep up haha.

 Ha ha this old fella has boxing class tonight so will be ready to rumble tomorrow lol.

hahah, il watch for the left hook in the morning - might see you out there aswell Terboz.

 anyone need a deckie? ;)

7ish for us .. out from woodies most probably end up floating around behind rotto somewhere ...good luck boys

atm,not too much happening on the reefs

So where's all the bloody reports?? The unfortunate ones who are at work today want to know how everyone went

fishing weather here since last Monday to today Friday 2/8/13.  The ocean today looked like a mill pond, excellent fishing all week here in Leeman, average 4boats out each day.  Too cold in the mornings for us hahahah must be getting old.

Hope you either got out and got your PB's or over the weekend.  Big high coming in so might be ok for the weekend.

 found it hard to actually find good fish today. Got a good pink, nanny and harlequin in shallow, nothing on the wrecks out deep though! 

fish on the chew!
full mixed bag - baldy, dhu (heaps just under, 1 a little over) black bum, couple of nice 60cm kg's and not one wrass!
couple of sweep and grinners for good measure. no snapper though.
all on about 40lt of fuel.
drift was not as bad as I expected, around .1/.2 northerly!?
was a very nice drive in.

 Yeah we had a good day One big Baldy 2 Dhuies and a Red throat. Lot's of Sargent Bakers and undersize Pinkies Grrrr. Got rid off the sea anchor around 11.Like you say Tot it was a joy to drive home on the almost glass off.

a dozen good skippy up to 50cm, some good red wrasse for the crewie, undersize dhys,pinkies and black arse,great run home,north of rotto, probably done better in close,was a nice day out though 

I watched a fella who had retrieved his boat get out of the car at the top of the ramp and must of forgotten to put the handbrake on!! he got back in just in time to accidentally honk the horn lots(so everyone watched) and just stop from loosing the car.
he then drove off quickly...

Nothing too Speccy .. one dhu , skippy , b/arse kept a couple of seasweep interested to see how they cook up .. yep nice run back in with friendly fisheries ladies at the ramp checking the catches ..

went out wide didn't do that well I got a dhuie , offsider got a nice reefy that got turned it to fillets and he got a thumper black arse , I think the dhuie I got was a double hook up as I struggled for 10 minutes to move it of the bottom (thought I was snagged at one stage but catchalittle(Nathan) said nah hang on to it that's not the bottom that's a fish)any way finally got it moving and about half way up I lost most of the weight but still had a nice Dhuie attached when the when the tackle hit the surface. The weather was perfect coming home over 40ks an hour all the way and could have gone faster but just enjoyed the trip home, good company, a feed of fish and great weather does it get any better??

Haha sweet reports guys!!... Would have loved to have been out there :(... Sounds like a there were a few good days had out there

 Did anyone have big problems with norwest blowies today off two rocks? Lost all my rigs I made up last night:( ended up keeping two dhuies and two baldies. Took ages cos of the bloody blowies. Still a good day out.

Was pretty lumpy out off Ocean reef until lunchtime, when it improved a lot. Both deckies ended up spewing....hopeless!

We hit up the shallow sambo spot first up to test out the new 2013 Stellas...there were thousands of them spread over a 400 m radius. Lots of triple headers and we could see the sambos and amberjack schooling under the boat. Dropped a jig 5 m down, twitch twitch and watched two hookups. Soft plastics, jigs of all types, it did not matter. 

Then out wider we got a couple of sized dhu, a nice pinkie and baldie on jig, but was reasonably hard work and tried heaps of different spots. Blown away by a few unstoppables on jig which was disappointing. 

Great run home.

Nice to meet you at the ramp Tot. We used a LOT more fuel than you.......

My mind decided that the rolling swell this morning wasn't too flash and that it would be best if I burleyed up the water for a decent portion of the day.

Despite the greeness managed to get a nice Baldy, small Dhuey that went 550mm, and a Bonito on a bottom bashing rig. I seem to be Sargent Baker magnet too or theres shedloads of them around.

Skipper caught a decent Baldy too, a Dhuey 600mm-ish, a KG, and a cuttlefish. He threw back a couple of Red Throat emperors(bit far from home??) and a Sweep.

He got onto some Norwest blowie action too. Fortunately I missed out on this as I had decided to retire to a horizontal position for a while.

Seems to be a few Whales around at the mo. Spotted 6 today.

We left Hillarys and went I dunno 18+ miles out and it was swelly and not that clean. The drive out was the killer. I didn't feel as bad when stationary. After a fish we headed another 7+ miles out and I was definitely not too flash after that.

It ended up beautiful but I was damaged goods by then.

The ride in was great,  though I will admit hitting Terra Firma was a bit of relief. I've never been as sick as I was today though. Unfortunately due to the love of fishing I'm going to have to persevere.

 Went out past Carnac today and did a bit of a recon on some old ground that I last went to during the summer months. Never really caught anything there before except some Black Arse. Today the conditions were great but the fish werent biting much though there was plenty of schools of what looked like a good size on the sounder.

Ended up with a nice 62cm KG and an 83cm Snapper. I had just got the snapper alongside, couldn't get it in the net so was reaching for the gaff when my other rod went off. Bugger, what to do! The snapper I had alongside wasn't going anywhere so started reeling in on the other rod. Another monster snapper surfaced without much effort but as I reeled it in towards the boat the damned hook snapped. A few expletives flew but thats life, fishing life.

Lost another rig to something fairly heavy, don't think it was a ray and it certainly didn't react like a sambo but the 30kg braid snapped.

63 cm kgw and a 83 cm snapper you had a good day out mate

Wether was epic SW of rotto with little bit of swell but no big deal out wide, although current was a problem pushin us at 2kn into the morning breeze. Ended up with two dhus ( 18+8kg) big boy came on 20lb and was the first dhu ive had to chase down, plus a few nice pinks to round out the bag. 

 good to see most got fish, had a cracker of a day, report to come monday morning once i have all the photos.spotted a massive bust up and it was chaos from then on.

nice size baldy sea kem, good to see the apprentice showing you up, front row seats were good, good work on the dhuies aswell,nice to meet you, even if it was brief, sorry again mate, the decky spat the chewy and wanted to head to sth africa to fish. 

 judging by what everyone got it might not be that good haha

 Spent most of Thursday installing my new under-gunnel Korr led lighting - it is brilliant and headed out at sparrows on Friday almost mowing someone down in the sound with absolutely NO lighting whatever.   Cray pots were everywhere in the 30-40's making it tough going - must now consider a flood light bar as it was a bloody obstacle course

All my usual ground appeared devoid of fish so headed off about a mile further south and came across some activity, two drops and bagged out with a great eating size 60+ dhuie and an absolute horse of a blackarse, moved inshore and skinned some occy chasing some whiting to finish off the bag, dropped a beauty boatside and then got a second 64cm female ( on cleaning regretfully it was full of roe) and headed in - fishing the whiting area got several more blackarse all successfully released witha weight and a couple of small dhuies again the weight worked great

Back at Cockburn by 11 and the whole of the morning did not need to use a sea anchor but was drifting at a perfect speed - couldn't have asked for better
